How old do you have to be to be a “Senior”?

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts considers anyone to be a senior who is 60 years of age or older.  Some states have varied ages (55, 62, or 65 for example) but 60 is the age for Massachusetts.  However, you do not necessarily need to be over 60 to be a part of the Senior Center.  At the West Boylston Senior Center we have participants at 55 years.
